Dine in our Family run Farmhouse – Traditional organic Food & Wine
This farm table feels like family. At La Vigna degli dei in San Lazzaro near Positano, Pasquale and Rosanna host a tour of their family farmhouse plus organic cooking and a wine tasting that lands you a proper 3-course meal. After dinner, they may even take you up the road to a lookout over Sorrento. Only heads-up: you need to request dietary changes or the vegetarian option ahead of time, and the experience runs in set windows (early afternoon or evening).
The setup is refreshingly straightforward: you meet at Via Castello, 3, spend about two hours on the property, eat, taste, and then you’re brought back to the start point. I like that the price covers the big items (taxes, escort/host, water, coffee or tea, and the meal), so you can focus on enjoying the food instead of doing math in your head. One more practical note: private transportation is not included, so you’ll want to plan how you’ll get there.

A family farmhouse meal near Positano: what you’re really buying
This isn’t a quick “food stop.” It’s a sit-down, family-run farm experience focused on traditional organic food and wine, with hospitality that comes across as personal—not performative.
When you pay $57.67 per person for roughly two hours, the real value is what you get without juggling extras. The package includes a wine tasting, bottled water, coffee and/or tea, and a 3-course meal. Add in the fact that taxes, fees, and handling charges are included, and it’s easier to budget your day in Positano’s general chaos.
You should also like the feel of “small and local.” This is run by a family farmhouse, and you’re not being shuttled from one boxed attraction to the next. The format stays simple: see the farm, taste some wine, eat a full meal, then head back.
The one thing to keep in mind is that it’s organized around set hours. If your day in Positano is flexible, this works nicely. If you need a specific time on the clock, you’ll want to match your schedule to the available windows.
Getting to Via Castello 3 and timing your 2-hour farm visit
Your meeting point is Via Castello, 3, 80051 San Lazzaro NA, Italy, and the experience ends back at the same place. That “back where you started” detail is helpful. You don’t have to worry about lining up another ride or hunting down a second pickup location.
The experience runs in two daily-style time blocks:
- 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
- 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM
So you’ll pick a session that fits your day—either afternoon or evening. Since it lasts about two hours, build in a little extra buffer for travel from Positano. Also, private transportation isn’t included, and the listing notes it’s near public transportation, so your best plan is to choose the route that gets you there without stress.
One practical travel detail: this experience uses a mobile ticket, and confirmation happens at booking time. It’s a good fit if you prefer a phone-based ticket over paper.
And yes, this one books ahead—on average about 71 days. That’s a clue to plan early, especially if you’re traveling in peak season or you want a specific seating window.
La Vigna degli dei farmhouse tour: the part most people forget to plan for
Before the food, you’ll be shown the family farmhouse at La Vigna degli dei. That farm intro is short—about 30 minutes—but it matters. It gives the meal context. You’re not just eating; you’re seeing the operation behind the table.
This is also where the experience feels most “real.” It’s small-scale and family-run, so you’ll notice the difference between a farm table dinner and a restaurant meal. You’re on their turf, in their rhythm, and the tone stays relaxed.
What to do with those first minutes: pay attention. Listen to how the family talks about their organic approach, and don’t rush the walk-through. Even if you’re not a farm person, this is where you start to understand why the food tastes the way it does.
A possible consideration: you’ll want comfortable shoes. This is on a working farmhouse property, and you’ll likely be walking around more than you would inside a restaurant.
Wine tasting, bottled water, and coffee/tea: the easy meal flow
The wine tasting is included, along with bottled water, coffee and/or tea. That combination does more than add “extras.” It helps you keep your day simple and your meal unbroken.
If you’re the type who hates stopping to refill glasses or track down your bill, you’ll appreciate how the package supports a smooth meal flow. Wine tasting is part of the experience, not an add-on you have to request.
Also, for most people, it’s a comfortable pace. Since the total time is around two hours, you’re not stuck in an all-day food marathon. You can fit this into a Positano itinerary without losing your whole afternoon or evening.
One point to note: the experience is offered in English, so you won’t be left trying to decode everything on vibes alone. Still, even with English, don’t expect a formal lecture. This is a family hosting situation, so conversations tend to be casual and human.

The 3-course lunch or dinner: traditional organic cooking in an easy timeline
You’ll be served a 3-course dinner as part of the experience, and the schedule also includes a 3-course lunch option depending on which session you book. Either way, the key idea is the same: you’ll eat a full meal, not just “a few bites.”
Here’s how to think about the value:
- A 3-course meal at a normal restaurant is often only food.
- Here, you add wine tasting, water, coffee/tea, and the host experience bundled into the same ticket.
- Taxes and fees are included, which makes the final cost feel less surprising.
From a practical standpoint, plan your other meals lightly. Positano has plenty of snacks and quick bites, but once you sit down for a farm 3-course meal, you’ll want your appetite intact.
Also, bring patience for the pacing. This is served in the rhythm of a family meal, where the point is conversation as much as it is the food. If you’re the type who hates waiting, you may find the flow slower than a standard restaurant service. If you can relax into it, you’ll enjoy the experience more.
Pasquale and Rosanna’s hosting style: why it feels personal
This is the heart of the experience. The names Pasquale and Rosanna come up again and again, and the theme is consistent: they cook and host with warmth.
I like experiences where the hosts feel involved, not distant. Here, the family approach shows up in how you’re welcomed, how you’re served, and how the conversation stays friendly. That’s what turns an included meal into a memory you’ll actually remember later.
One standout extra that shows up in the experience: after dinner, Pasquale may take you up the road to a lookout point that overlooks Sorrento. That adds a strong payoff because it mixes food with a real sense of place. You finish eating, then get a view that makes you slow down and take photos—without needing to book another activity.
If you want to make the most of that viewpoint, wear layers. Even near the Amalfi coast, evenings can feel cooler than you expect after a long lunch or a warm dinner.
Vegetarian option, kid rules, and dietary requests that actually help
The experience includes guidance on food needs, and that matters because farm meals depend on prep planning.
Here’s what you should know:
- A vegetarian option is available—tell the operator at booking time.
- Please advise any specific dietary requirements at time of booking.
That’s the practical part. If you wait until the day of the meal, it may be harder for a family kitchen to adjust. So do the smart thing and send your needs early.
Kids are allowed as long as they’re accompanied by an adult. So if you’re traveling with family, this can work—just expect a full meal format.
Also, service animals are allowed, which is useful for travelers who need that accommodation.
Price and value vs. what’s not included (transport)
Let’s talk money with your sanity in mind.
You’re paying $57.67 per person for a package that covers:
- taxes, fees, and handling charges
- an escort/host
- wine tasting
- bottled water
- coffee and/or tea
- a 3-course lunch and a 3-course dinner (tied to your session/time window)
What’s not included is private transportation. That one detail can swing the real cost of the day. If you’re staying in Positano, you’ll need a plan to get to San Lazzaro at Via Castello, 3.
So how do you judge value? This experience is strong if you:
- already have an easy way to get to the meeting point
- want an organic, family-style meal with wine tasting included
- prefer a guided host experience over self-guided dining
If you’d have to pay for complicated transport just to reach the farmhouse, the bargain feeling fades a bit. But if you can reach it without trouble, the included elements do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Who this farm dinner is best for
This fits best if you want an authentic-feeling food experience without the tourist-run “show.”
Book it if you:
- like organic food and wine tasting
- enjoy family-run places where you talk with the hosts
- want a full meal experience that’s timed and guided
- want a Sorrento-area viewpoint added after dinner
It may not be the best match if you need strict, rigid timing on your travel day. Since the format follows fixed windows (afternoon or evening), you’ll want to structure your day around that.
It also works well for couples and small groups because it’s a private tour/activity. You’ll only share the experience with your own group.
Should you book La Vigna degli dei in San Lazzaro?
I’d book this if you’re craving a real family farmhouse meal and you’re comfortable syncing your day to the afternoon or evening slot. The price feels fair for what’s included—wine tasting, water, coffee or tea, and a full 3-course meal—plus the extra warmth from Pasquale and Rosanna.
The decision comes down to one practical item: transportation. Since private transport isn’t included, confirm your easiest route to Via Castello, 3 before you commit. If getting there is easy, you’re set for a memorable, homey organic meal near Positano.
